Looking for an extreme adventure that will really get your blood pumping? What about one that will take you underneath the earth for an adventure that not many people in Florida get to have? While Florida may have quite a few caves worth checking out, this particular adventure is one to consider. Not only is this cave one of the longest underwater cave systems in Florida, but also is one of the longest in the country!
Disclaimer: Despite being a public area, it is highly encouraged that explorers are not venturing out on their own without experience or professional guides. This cave is dangerous and requires the appropriate equipment and gear. Do not forget to talk to rangers at the park and advise them of when you are returning.
The Wes Stiles Peacock Springs State Park in Live Oak, Florida features one of the longest underwater cave systems in the entire United States.
As the only park dedicated to cave diving, this one of a kind adventure allows experienced divers to explore an underwater world they’ve never seen before.
The chances of being able to explore all the cave systems might be far-fetched, but it depends on how long you stay to explore and how interested you are in attempting this feat.
It is important to note that while these underwater cave systems might look perfect for an exclusive social media photograph, this cave is not for beginners and is for experienced cavers who have a guide or professional with them.
With 20,000 visitors coming to the park every year, this is an extraordinary adventure that will certainly round out anyone’s Florida exploration bucket list.
